"Falling Skies" on TNT

Re: "Falling Skies" on TNT

The aliens in this series that the characters refer to as skitters, have 6 legs, 2 arms and a head with 2 eyes and a mouth. These skitters are physically stronger than a human, able to jump high enough to start walking on ceilings. They seem to have the natural ability to generate a weak radio signal but they are never shown to wield any sort of tools.

So far no reason why they only enslave teenage children and not other humans.

Caught the 2nd show of the series without watching the first. Was relatively easy to pick up on the story. Haven't made up my mind if I will continue to watch this.

I watched the "Pilot" episode. Found it hard to follow the plot & characters stories. I probably won't watch the series. and I happen to really like Sci-fy.

TNT tends to air the episodes multiple times during the week, so if one missed the initial airing on Sundays at 7pm HST there will be other opportunities.

So far the series centers around a group of people around the Boston area and its been six months after an alien invasion hits the Earth, leaving most of the professional miltary wiped out, what's left are reservists and national guard people and weapons to take up the fight.

What is strange so far is that the aliens are these six legged creatures but they employ 2 legged armed robots, with captured children with some kind of life form connected to their back as slave labor.

A new scifi series called Falling Skies will start airing on the TNT channel on Sunday June 19, 2011 at 6:00 pm HST.

The series is about the aftermath of an alien invasion. Haven't seen any previews but then again I haven't tuned in to TNT yet. While the episodes are an hour long, the first airing will be 2 hours long.
